New York alt pop duo HEIRSOUND will be releasing their colorful debut EP, Merge, on August 5th. Merge has one of the most unique concepts for an album that we’ve ever come across as the six tracks create the color wheel. Confused? Let us explain: each track on the EP represents a specific color that has an aura and a feeling. For example, their latest single “Slow Motion” represents orange, an aura of adventure, happiness, and creativity.

Back in December, Taking Back Sunday was so hyped about a new song that they played it at their second annual holiday show in New Jersey. That song, “Tidal Wave,” is now their newest single and the title track of their upcoming album. When discussing the new album, guitarist John Nolan shares, “…It’s the culmination of things we’ve tried over the past two records. I think it’s the strongest record we’ve done since getting back together. We’ve freed ourselves up to go in new directions.“ Though slightly different from the typical style of music the band has released in the past, it’s a change that fans are excited for.

Frontman Adam Lazzara discusses the difference in sounds from their previous releases sharing, "With our first records, we were writing from the perspective of 17, 18-year-old kids and now it’s like, as you grow old, the blinders get pulled back and you have a different way of looking at the world. There’s more of an Americana feel. But we realize anything we do is going to sound like Taking Back Sunday." 

The new release, Tidal Wave, will be released September 15th via Hopeless Records. Check out the artwork and track listing below!

After nearly a decade, SoCal punk rockers Guttermouth will be releasing their new album Got It Made. The album, which will be released on July 22nd via Rude Records/Bird Attack Records, will be sure to add a new chapter to their legacy as one of punk rock’s seminal acts. In a collective statement, the band shares. “After releasing 9 studio albums over the years, it’s sometimes hard to find new ideas and motivation, and life often gets in the way of creativity…While touring Australia in 2015, there was an opportunity to stay at a studio for a week in between legs of the tour. While staying at the studio, we were able to complete some of the ideas and record them as demos. Once back in the States we tweaked some of the songs once again. By then,we felt they were ready to be recorded properly. With no pressure of deadlines, we felt we were finally able to write songs we wanted to put out."
